BARREL WHISKEY INFINITE BARREL PROJECT CASK STRENGTH AMERICAN WHISKEY
$57.99
THE INTENT OF THIS PROJECT is to create an ever-changing whiskey blended from barrels of mature whisk(e)y. We began by selecting barrels for their flavor contribution and complexity and blending them in a larger single, or “Infinite” vessel. At each bottling we remove a portion of that whiskey and replace it with other barrels that will complement the remaining blend. We then repeat the process – bottling a portion and adding newly selected whiskeys each time. You can find which whiskeys are present in each bottling by referring to the bottling date on the front label and going to that page on our site.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM THE SOLERA PROCESS?
The Infinite Barrel contains fractions of many whiskey barrels in a single blend, while a solera ends up with fractions of the original whiskey in many barrels. Our objective is to create a unique blend for every bottling. The solera process, however, is designed to create a consistent product every time. At its most basic, the solera process starts with a single barrel or group of barrels of a specific age. A fraction of the first group of barrels is put it in the second group of barrels, a fraction of that second group is put in the third group and so on. The solera process is designed and symmetrical. We think of our Infinite Barrel Project as a solera in reverse. It’s unpredictable and asymmetrical, constantly evolving – even whimsical. We’re certainly having fun blending it.

Description
The tradition of keeping an infinity bottle is well known to whiskey collectors and aficionados around the world. Take the last ounces of each whisk(e)y bottle as you finish it, and pour them into a bottle you’ve set aside. Barrell Craft Spirits is honoring the Infinity bottle tradition in their own way by introducing the Infinite Barrel Project. The intent of the project is to create an ever-changing whiskey blended from mature barrels, chosen for their complexity. Each time a portion is drawn out on a specific bottling date, Barrell then adds newly selected whiskeys that have already been aging separately to the partially spent barrel. The whiskeys inside each bottle can be found by looking up the bottling date on the Barrell Craft Spirits website. Truly a fun and interesting project!
